タイトル Doxorubicin-conjugated anti-midkine monoclonal antibody as a potential anti-tumor drug.
ジャーナル Jpn J Clin Oncol
Abstract BACKGROUND:Midkine is a heparin-binding growth factor preferentially expressed in tumor cells. The present study was performed to utilize anti-midkine antibody for tumor therapy.
METHODS:A monoclonal antibody to midkine was raised by immunizing mice deficient in the midkine gene. The binding site of the antibody was studied by using N-terminal half and C-terminal half of midkine, both of which were chemically synthesized. Doxorubicin (DOX)-conjugate of the antibody was produced by chemical conjugation. The effects of the antibody and the conjugate on cell growth were examined using a midkine-secreting tumor cell, i.e. human hepatocellular carcinoma cell (HepG2).
RESULTS:The monoclonal antibody bound to the N-terminal half of midkine. The antibody did not inhibit the growth of HepG2 cells probably because the active domain of midkine is in the C-terminal half. We produced the antibody conjugated with DOX with the hope that the conjugate would be internalized accompanied with midkine. Indeed, the antibody-DOX conjugate significantly inhibited the growth of HepG2 cells compared with DOX-conjugated control IgG.
CONCLUSION:The result raises the possibility of using anti-midkine antibody conjugated with DOX for cancer therapy.
